Couple looking to purchase new home find Russian child for sale in sick online advert

A young couple from Moscow who were hoping to buy a new home received a shock after they found a young Russian boy for sale in an online advert.

According to Russia's Moskovskij Komsomolets (MK) news outlet, Matvey, 33, claimed that the ad showed a photo of a young boy smiling along with the words “Seryozha – buy in Moscow”.
